I Built an AI Agent Team That Runs My Business

TL;DR

  • AI agents run on persistent cloud computers: Unlike ChatGPT, these agents operate 24/7 with their own file systems, can download videos, create documents, and maintain state across conversations.

  • You can message agents like regular contacts: Agents get phone numbers for iMessage/SMS and can be added to Slack channels, making them accessible wherever you already communicate.

  • The GRASP framework structures agent creation: Goals, Resources, Automations, Skills, and Personality provide a checklist for building agents that operate autonomously.

  • Agents can create their own skills on demand: Ask an agent to reference your content transcripts and save it as a skill, and it will write scripts in your voice automatically.

  • Automations run on schedules you define through conversation: The hiring agent was set up with four daily cron jobs (sourcing at 8:30am, outreach, review digest at 4:30pm, nightly reset) just by asking in Slack.

  • Agents build working tools for you: The hiring agent created a mobile-optimized Trello-style dashboard with candidate cards, fit scores, and status tracking entirely through natural language requests.

The Breakdown

Riley Brown spent over 100 hours building a team of AI agents that operate 24/7 across iMessage and Slack, demonstrating how to deploy a marketing agent from a template in under 20 minutes and build a hiring agent from scratch that sources candidates, manages outreach, and maintains a live hiring dashboard. The agents run on persistent cloud computers, connect to tools like Notion and Linear, and can be controlled entirely through natural language in your existing messaging apps.
